Hi all, Slight problem here revolving around NFS. I have almost setup my Mac to dual-boot MacOS (currently 8.6, but hoping to go up to 9.1 soon) and Debian. I am hoping to use BootX to do the deeds of OS selecting since YaBoot won't work on this variety of Mac (too old), and QUIK has been a right-royal pain previously (apparently this particular Mac has a very dodgy OpenFirmware (a bit like a BIOS). However, in order to use BootX I need a kernel stored on the Mac's filesysten. Now, I have downloaded the "linux.bin" file for the Debian installer, which has allowed me to boot the system using BootX after the base-system was installed. My problem is what to do after I update from Stable? What I was planning on doing was booting the system with the old kernel, updating the system, mounting an NFS share and copying the new kernel over the network, rebooting back to MacOS and then copying the file over NFS (or, more likely, I'll burn it to CD so I can use it on the Mac... still having problems with NFS under MacOS) to the Mac so I can place in in the appropriate place for BootX to see it, and then all will be hunky dory. However... even though I have: home/gsewell/files/ (rw) in my /etc/exports file, I still can't get RW access from *any* machine. This makes it quite hard to copy a file off the Mac(Debian) onto the x86 machine. I know it's bound to be something *really* simple that I've just completely missed (I tend to set up the NFS exports with Webmin because I'm lazy). Any thoughts? Grant.
OK, got it sorted now. It was a silly mistake - without listing any network, group or individual host a share will be RO by default, yes? So I put in my network+mask and all is now well.
